I'm doing a job right now that needs a bunch of surface mounted switch boxes. The problem lays in the fact that your average steel box is not the prettiest item, not to mention most KO's these will fall out apon a breeze.

Anyone know of something more suitable for multigang switches that looks a "little less industrial", with more solid KO's, or non at all?

How about a wiremold box with adapter fittings to conduit. Wiremold conduit connector #5782A, a short piece of #500 wiremold and your 1 or more gang box. Only drawback is the maximum fill of #500 wiremold. If drop ceiling the wiremold could be installed through the ceiling and changed to conduit above the ceiling. Could be a nice looking finished job.Ron
